In 1936, a wide-eyed boy by the name of LeRoy Brown clambered
aboard a 1929 Waco 10 converted to crop dusting duty, sat down in
the grimy hopper, and then launched into a clear-blue Florida sky
on a wondrous flight that ignited a life-long passion with flying
and airplanes. More than 35,000 flight hours later, Captain LeRoy
Brown stepped out of the cockpit of a Pan American World Airways
DC-10 to end a commercial aviation career that spanned nearly five
decades . In between, he filled dozens of logbooks with exciting
tales of flying biplane crop dusters, B-17 freight haulers, old
airliners, surplus military trainers, state-of-the-art propeller
and jet airliners, and more than 150 personally owned airplanes.
Packed with photographs and generous sidebars of supplemental
information, From Crop Duster to Airline Captain chronicles the
life and flying stories of Captain LeRoy Brown, 2009 inductee into
the Florida Aviation Historical Association Hall of Fame and 2012
recipient of the Federal Aviation Administration's Wright Brothers
Master Pilot Award.
